Attentional Set-Shifting Test
Objective: Assessed attentional set-shifting abilities in transgenic and mutant mice with different COMT expression levels
This is a Attentional Set-Shifting Test protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2008 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Attentional Set-Shifting Test
Assessed attentional set-shifting abilities in transgenic and mutant mice with different COMT expression levels
Note: Test was performed on Val-tg mice (overexpressing human COMT-Val polymorphism), COMT null mutation mice, and wild-type controls
